Introduction
Airship provides a number of REST API endpoints collectively known as the Airship API Version 3, in support of our messaging product lines and related features. Version 3 is the current and only supported version of the Airship API.
API Request Format
All API requests are HTTP requests. For all requests with a body, the body may be in JSON
format or other formats like CSV as specified for the endpoint. The proper Content-Type for
JSON is application/json and the proper content type for CSV is text/csv.
Version Syntax
You must specify the version of the API you are using with the Accept HTTP header. If you do not specify an API version in the Accept header, a 406 Not Acceptable is returned.
The content type used is a vendor-specific media type
(see RFC 4288), and must be specified as follows: application/vnd.urbanairship+json; version=3;.
Delivery Speed Options
The Airship push API is designed for extremely high throughput to ensure delivery to your entire audience as fast as possible. Depending on the size and/or complexity of your audience and the urgency of the message, you may find that you need to either slow down or speed up the delivery. To that end, we offer the following add-on services: Boost and Throttling.
If you are interested in enabling push boost or throttling for your app, please contact support@urbanairship.com.
Boost
Boost optimizes your segmented messages through parallel processing. Consider adding Boost if your notifications are extremely time-sensitive. Boost is a paid add-on. Contact your Account Manager for details.
Throttling
For less time-sensitive messages, our standard delivery speed may cause undue pressure on your internal systems or APIs, e.g., when millions of users open your app at the same time. Throttling allows you to tune delivery to a level that doesn't put strain on those systems.
Base URL
Select the domain (.com or .eu/asnapieu.com) associated with your Airshp project.
- The base URL for Airship's North American cloud site.
- The base URL for Airship's European cloud site.
Authentication
HTTP Authentication
basicAuthorization header containing the wordBasicfollowed by a space and a Base64-encoded string generated from your app key and app secret, e.g.,Basic YXBwX2tleTphcHBfc2VjcmV0.HTTP Authentication
basicAuthorization header containing the wordBasicfollowed by a space and a Base64-encoded string generated from your app key and master secret, e.g.,Basic YXBwX2tleTptYXN0ZXJfc2VjcmV0.HTTP Authentication
bearerA bearer token generated from the Airship dashboard. You can generate tokens for different roles; if your role does not grant you access to a feature, the endpoint will respond with a 401. Tokens can be revoked at will.
Push
Send notifications or rich messages to supported channels, or validate JSON payloads.

Errors returned with 4xx responses. Errors include as much information as possible to help you understand the reason for the failure.
Validate Push
Missing Payload Example: A push which specifies delivery to a platform, but does not supply a payload for that platform, is invalid. This push is invalid because it specifies Android as a delivery platform, but does not provide a payload for Android.
{
"audience": "all",
"device_types": [
"ios",
"android"
],
"notification": {
"ios": {
"alert": "Boo"
}
}
}Example: Device Identifier/Restriction Mis-Match: A push which includes a device identifier in the audience selection, but does not include the corresponding platform in the
"device_types"specifier, is invalid. This push is invalid because it includes an iOS channel in the audience selection, but has not specified "ios" as a delivery platform.
{
"audience": {
"or": [
{
"android_channel": "9c36e8c7-5a73-47c0-9716-99fd3d4197d0"
},

"android"
],
"notification": {
"alert": "Who wore it better: iOS or Android?"
}
}POST /api/push/validate

HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
Content-Type: application/vnd.urbanairship+json; version=3;
{
"ok": true
}DELETE /api/user/messages/{push_id}
Delete a Message Center message completely, removing it from every user’s inbox. This is an asynchronous call; a success response means that the deletion has been queued for processing.
This delete call will work with either the message_id or the push_id of the accompanying push notification.
This endpoint will not work with a group_id from an automated message or a push to local time delivery. To delete a rich message that was part of an automated or local time delivery, you must use the relevant push_id from the operation.
For time-sensitive messages you should consider including an expiry time, as detailed in the In-App Message Object. Setting an expiry value will prevent you from having to manually remove messages.

This does the same amount of validation as the creation endpoint, including platform-specific validation, e.g., APNS byte limit checks. While this operation ensures the experiment is technically valid, it does not guarantee that a resulting push will succeed. An experiment may validate and still fail to be delivered. For example, you may have a valid experiment with no devices in your audience.

Custom Events
User events that occur outside of your app can be submitted to Airship for inclusion in analytics reporting, as triggers for Automation, or for export via Connect. These events can take place on the web, e.g., your website, social media, or in your back office systems such as CRM or POS software. Any event that can be associated with a mobile app user can be submitted as an Airship custom event. The events that you submit are associated with channels and are available to use as custom event triggers.

Open Channels
Open Channels are custom communication channels that you can configure for messaging, using the same segmentation and scheduling tools available on natively-supported platforms (iOS, Android, etc). With Open Channels, you define a new open platform, e.g., SMS, Slack, Acme™ Smart Toasters, and register the new platform with Airship. If you are sending through the push API, platform overrides for open platforms are covered in the Open Channels Platform Overrides section.

Request Body
A single email channel object.
application/json
Type: Object
An email channel object is the object used to create or update channels.
There are two types of emails: commercial and transactional. Commercial emails are promotional. Transactional emails are functional responses to interactions with a your app or website, like receipts, legal noticies, and password reset requests. Users must explicitly opt-in to receive commercial emails; users do not need to opt-in to receive transactional emails (though they can explicitly opt-out).
Each channel uses opted_in and opted_out keys for both commercial and transactional emails. The value of each key is the date-time when the user subscribed to or unsubscribed from emails of either type — commercial or transactional. If a user has opted out of a particular email type (or the user never opted into commercial emails), and the user is a part of your audience for a message of that type, the email designated for the opted-out user is dropped at delivery time. These values are all optional. However, an email channel with no opted_in or opted_out values can only receive transactional emails.
If a channel has both opt_in and opt_out values for a particular email type, Airship respects the most recent date-time. So, if a user opted into commercial emails after previously opting out, that user can receive commercial emails from you even though that user's channel possesses both commercial_opted_in and commercial_opted_out values; if the opt-in date is prior to the opt-out date, the user will not receive commercial emails from you.

}POST /api/channels/email/tags
Add, remove, or set tags for a single email channel.
A tag must be < 128 characers. A request with one or more tags longer than 128 characters will return a 400 response. While we support billions of channels, testing a channel by repeatedly updating its tags can cause latency and service interruptions. We support up to 1000 tags per channel. Adding more than 1000 tags per channel can cause latency and service interruptions. We strongly recommend removing unused tags whenever possible, and using Custom Events when appropriate. Please contact Support if you believe your use case requires more than 1000 tags per channel, and they will help you find an alternative.

Create an SMS channel. If the channel has not opted in yet (the request did not contain opted_in), Airship creates the channel with opt_in set to false and the user receives a message prompting them to complete the opt-in flow; you can assign assign tags and organize pending channels before the user has finished the opt-in process, but you cannot send messages to channels until they opt in to your audience.
SMS notifications require a sender - a number that recipients will receive SMS notifications from. Contact Airship Support or your Account Manager to provision your project for SMS notifications and complete the configuration.
Avoid repeated registration attempts. Repeated registrations of the same msisdn and sender without an opted_in value will result in multiple opt-in instruction messages being sent to the msisdn.

Named Users
A Named User is a proprietary identifier that maps customer-chosen IDs, e.g., CRM data, to Channels. It is useful to think of a Named User as an individual consumer who might have more than one mobile device registered with your app. For example, Named User “john_doe_123” might have a personal Android phone and an iPad, on both of which he has opted in for push notifications. If you want to reach John on both devices, associate the Channel (device) identifiers for each device to the Named User “john_doe_123,” and push to the Named User. Notifications will then fan out to each associated device.

}POST /api/channels/tags
Add, remove, or set tags on a channel.
A tag must be < 128 characers. A request with one or more tags longer than 128 characters will return a 400 response.
While we support billions of channels, testing a channel by repeatedly updating its tags can cause latency and service interruptions.
We support up to 1000 tags per channel. Adding more than 1000 tags per channel can cause latency and service interruptions. We strongly recommend removing unused tags whenever possible, and using Custom Events when appropriate. Please contact Support if you believe your use case requires more than 1000 tags per channel, and they will help you find an alternative.

Search for a location boundary by name and type. See Boundary Types and Aliases Catalog for a list of available types. Because there are over 2.5M location boundaries available in Segments, we recommend you provide a type parameter along with your search to increase the chance you find the polygon you're looking for. If you are not getting satisfactory results with searching for a location by name, you may want to consider searching for Locations by coordinates or bounding box.
Due to contractual obligations we do not return proprietary datasets such as Maponics Neighborhood Boundaries or Nielsen DMA© in this endpoint. You can, however, search for those locations using the web interface.

]GET /api/segments/dates
Retrieve cutoff dates for each time granularity. When creating segments, you can identify location events that happened in the past with maximum values changing based on the unit of time. For example, you can search back up to 10 years using yearly granularity, but only up to 4 years using monthly granularity. This endpoint lists the cutoff dates and times (where applicable) for different units of time. You can create location segments using the following units of time, going back:
- 48 hours ago * 60 days ago * 10 weeks ago * 48 months ago * 10 years ago

Static Lists
With the Static List API endpoint, you can easily target and manage lists of devices that are defined in your systems outside of Airship. Any list or grouping of devices for which the canonical source of data about the members is elsewhere is a good candidate for Static Lists, e.g., members of a customer loyalty program.

Replace the contents of an existing static list via CSV file upload. Uploads must be newline delimited identifiers (text/CSV) with commas as the delimiter.
The CSV format is two columns: identifier_type and identifier. The identifier is the associated identifier you wish to send to. The identifier_type
must be one of:
named_userios_channelandroid_channelamazon_channelsmsemailopen_channel
The maximum number of identifier_type,identifier pairs that may be uploaded to a list is 10 million. Content-Encoding: gzip is supported (and recommended) on this endpoint to reduce network traffic.
If an attempt to upload a list times out due to a poor connection, you must re-upload the list from scratch. Because we want to ensure that the entirety of a given list is successfully uploaded, we do not support partial list uploads.

Create and Send
Simultaneously send a notification to an audience of SMS, email, or open channel addresses and register channels for new addresses in your audience. Create and send can help you immediately notify new open::, email, or sms contacts without having to wait for channel registration.
While create and send can help you quickly register new channels, you can use these endpoints for existing channels as well. Addresses in the audience that are not yet associated with channels are registered as new channels. Addresses in the payload that are already registered to opted-in channel_ids will still receive notifications, but are not registered as new channels.
You cannot update channel information or opt-in status from these endpoints. If you want to update channels, refer to the appropriate email, sms, or open channel endpoints.
